Dark color gamut is considered complex and not the most successful in the interior design. We prove the opposite on seven visual examples.
1 Universal background

Dark colors are quite complex, but in fact the dark background gamma is very well combined with other palettes. And this is its indisputable advantage.
Dark gray or black will become an excellent background for light or even white items. For example, with a shade of anthracite or other variations of dark gray, it is possible to successfully combine not only soft pastel colors, but also catchy and bright shades.
2 suitable for any style

Dark walls are perfect for most interior styles. For example, if you want to create a luxury atmosphere, choose a deep purple, green or seductive burgundy for the background, adding the interior with exquisite furniture with twisted legs, velvet pillows and a mirror in a gilded frame. To the same extent, dark walls are suitable for a concise modern style - they will become an excellent background for modern furniture.
3 adjusts the geometry of space
Interior Design: Joshua Lawrence Studios Inc
Wallpaper or paint of dark saturated tones can visually change the geometry of the room. True, it should be noted that both for the best and worse. But, if you make the space evenly dark, including the ceiling and the floor, its borders seem to be slightly: this reception is very good for small non-residential premises like a bathroom or a corridor.
4 Excellent background for paintings
Interior Design: Kenneth Brown Design
It is well known that the best background for art objects is white, not a gift of museums and art galleries draw up the walls as neutralized as possible. Surprisingly, but the dark wall is not worse, and sometimes - better than white. It visually as if collecting the space around him. So you can paint one wall of the room into a rich dark color and put an improvised photo gallery on it - it will look like five with a plus.
5 creates a game of light and paints
Interior Design: LUX DESIGN
With daylight (and even in sunny weather), even the darkest room looks great: the game of paints adds liveliness and interesting shades from the game of natural light outside the window. So lighting for dark walls plays a significant role: working with dark colors, it should be remembered that artificial lighting is necessary, especially local. With the right approach, this contributes to the correct zoning of the space, which is very important for any interior.
6 goes well with a tree
Interior Design: CM Natural Designs
Textures and shades of natural wood, from which such accents are made like a frame for a mirror, a tabletop or chairs, make dark color on the walls not so heavy and at the same time attract attention to it. The win-win version will be a mirror in a frame from an old tree or branches, as in the photo, a large rustic table or elegant chairs on bent legs.
7 may look easily and imperceptibly
Interior Design: Rikki Snyder
The interior of this living room with dark gray walls looks sufficiently easy thanks to the glass coffee table, the console is a TV from acrylic, white door sofam and ceiling plinth, as well as a light sofa and a carpet. That is, the dark here only the walls, which, at first glance, even imperceptible look, but perfectly emphasize the bright interior.
